Description

Finding plants that perform in winter can be hard work, but this gorgeous Viburnum is just the thing to perk up those dull days.

This Viburnum produces masses of very fragrant white flowers, which emerge from blush-pink buds in clusters from the middle of winter, stretching from December to April, followed by red-purple berries. And it's evergreen too, and totally hardy, although the leaves may suffer a little cosmetic cold damage below -10C.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. This variety has also been labelled by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.

However, it is rarely sold in this wonderful 'standard' form, as an 80cm plant with a crafted head on top, bursting with bud and flower in spring. A fabulous focal tree on its own, great in pairs, and even better in an avenue along a path - where the scent and colour will amaze you in winter.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, already roughly 80cm tall, ready to plant.

Top Tips

To keep your standard tree looking at its best, remove any side shoots (laterals) from the trunk of the young tree in the winter. Any weak or competing shoots can also be removed from the top of the tree if needed.

Care Information

By keeping your standard tree in its pot, you can limit its size and keep it manageable. Spring is the best time to repot potted standards.
Repot your standard tree every other year. Use the same pot if you want to keep it at its current size, or up to 5cm (2in) bigger is you would like to grow it on a bit more.
Remove the plant from its pot and trim off any rotten roots or roots that are winding around the outside of the root ball.
Cut away the bottom one-third of the root ball using a pruning saw and replant using fresh potting soil or compost.
